Shawn Robinson, American Idol's competitor, teamed up with Elle King ("Ex's & Oh's") in the top 20 star duos of Sunday's singing competition – and their "Proud Mary" was not as spectacular.
Whether it's due to a missing signal, a forgotten lyrics or something else, the performance has become clumsy in a hurry.
The obvious blunder occurred when Robinson seemed to draw a blank while he was singing (fast forward to 2:10 below) – but the scene may have been prepared for flub earlier.
Near the beginning of the number, King walked to the stage and repeated the verse "Leave a good job in the city" that Robinson had already sung. Both skipped the verse "cleaned a lot of plates at Memphis," which may have led to the awkward moment of the sequence "if you go down to the river".
Robinson, a 22-year-old Atlanta hardware store worker, said earlier that it was not a song that he would have chosen. A late decision to slow the tempo (suggested by King) could also have hurt the couple.
In any case, Robinson was eliminated – but not without an encouraging tweet from Judge Lionel Richie.
